Well, shoot. I am torn between the fact that ''The DePauw'' is doing write-ups of legends in the music industry, and the recent write-up of Mr. Costello's latest album (''The DePauw'', Oct. II), Yes, I am off-campus, but I still do get ''The DePauw'' (and lucky me gets to read of all the nifty things I'm missing). Anyway, I am glad none of the true Costello devotees of two years ago were around to read this. Is it really such a shame that Elvis tries to shake-off the chains of American popular music, and blend getting back to basics with new and innovative techniques? I hope he never falls into a classification that is easily recognized, defined and least of all overplayed on an American radio show (as ''New Music Express'' puts it from London: the sanitizing of albums that is forced by the United State's "brain-shrink radio stations" — referring to the molding of Pato Banton in General Public's latest.) | |||
When I was at a hole-in-the-wall nightclub in London, Elvis came out unannounced and did a 45-minute set. That is unpredictable. He sang with a genuine tone and an enthusiasm that he seemed to have lost — almost like a musical rebirth. It is that lack of definition, unpredictability and renewed feeling in his latest that makes it timeless (once again). Perhaps that is why all of the European reviews I read have nothing but praise for ''Blood and Chocolate''. I am cheered by the fact that Costello was given such a lengthy column in ''The DePauw ''(it somewhat restores my faith in our grand institution) but that lack of definition/focus is not a negative thing, and lines like the "(the album) just leaves me wondering where MacManus is going next" only shows he's achieved part of his goal by avoiding pre-packaging and predictability (a popular item at DePauw). | |||
